Ari Wasserman said that, "In the end, Ohio State had more really good players than the Ducks had." I think DL is on the road to changing the sooner rather than later.

Certainly judging by all of your posts that I've read, I believe the UGA fans to be most civil.

There are things in life that you never really get over. The deep despair will go away, but the sadness will linger. Can't change the past, but we can look ahead. Right now I am eager for spring practices to start and to watch the spring game.That won't erase the RB loss, but it will help me to move forward. (It helps that, at heart, I am an optimist.)

Yep. Sigh.

Just wondering, how many HS recruits are on the team (or about to join)?

Evan Stewart had been ailing and suffered an injury during pre-game warmups, so did not play.

Dan did say, when he first came here, that you "water the bamboo" for 5 years before you see the results. We're close to that.

When I was a little girl I was a fan of the Brooklyn (yes, Brooklyn) Dodgers, and the expression "Wait until next year" was heard often--until, ta da, they won the World Series (while still in Brooklyn!). So...just wait until next year!

Not surprised. I'm sure there will be a thorough sweep of the stadium, parking lot, and surrounding areas.

Saw on the local news that it has been repainted yellow.

Saw him running around on the sidelines!

Somehow I don't think there will be any problem getting the Ducks fired up. I'm guessing they've been fired up since the B1G Championship game.

My usual response to this sort of thing is, "Oh, what do they know?!"

For those of us who do the work to make Christmas happen, being able to skip parts of the four games to tend to that work was a nice solution.

Fits right in with Christmas for me--it's fun to look ahead with anticipation!

NIL ruined their under-the-counter advantage...

It's such a big leap from high school to college, so it's hard to know what 5 stars mean sometimes.

Back in 1995 I think each school got 40,000 tickets each. Then by the next Rose Bowl it was down to 20,000 tickets each--most of the rest going to corporations. Now only 12,000? So tickets are probably out there--for a price$$$.

Woo! An inspiration to all walk-ons, I'm sure!

Apparently to show that the PAC teams were better than others thought.

There could be a concrete form of a Bigfoot footprint as the award for winning the game!

Let's hope there are a lot of Duck fans living near the playoff bowl sites!

What I noticed was how few huskies were at the game. In the past there would have been around 10,000. Looked like maybe one-or-two thousand?
